Location

Primrose Cottage is idyllically located in Rockford, a small hamlet next to Brendon in the Brendon Valley. There are two pubs nearby. This beautiful valley near the Exmoor coast, was made famous by both RD Blackmore, as the setting for the novel Lorna Doone, and more recently by Julia Bradbury, when featured as one of her her favourite river walks. (see link) There is excellent salmon and trout fishing, river kayaking and some of the most beautiful walking that Exmoor has to offer.
